Explain the results of the migration and settlement of the highland Nilotes in Kenya.
Answer:
- They displaced some communities they found in areas where they settled. e.g. the Abagusii, the Kwavi Maasai and the Abaluhya.
- Some highland Nilotes were absorbed/assimilated by the Bantus such as the Tiriki and the Tachoni.
- The highland Nilotes traded with-their-neighbor/ they exchanged animal products for grains from the Abaluhya and the Abagusii. This led to the expansion of trade in the region.
- Their settlement increased the population in the regions they settled in.
